Provide a way to monitor expiration dates of SSL peer certificates.

With Network compliance display (ZDCOM), we have a good tool to monitor expiration dates of local z/TPF certificates. But there are a large number of remote peer certificates for which we have no tool to monitor their expiration dates. Impact of e...

(TPFUG) Add OSA input list monitoring

To identify / understand the bursting nature of the OSA input list, we would like a mechanism to monitor the queue specifically at high TCPIP volume rates. Sending this information to CDC RTMC is a potential solution.

Add timestamp offset for ZMATC data

PJ46868 added a timestamp offset for ZRTMC data delivered from TPF to linux. This RFE requests the same functionality for the ZMATC data. This would allow for consistent data timestamps for any TPF system that has a non-UTC system time in RTMC and...

(TPFUG) Stop counting HSC closed by remote server as an error or provide a separate counter.

Today if a HSC endpoint is using persistent SSL sockets, and the remote server closes the socket it can cause the error count to be incremented. This is noticeable when the remote system implements an inactivity timeout on the socket, and there is...

(TPFUG/Visa) Provide a ZBOST STOP ISTREAM option that collapses all boosted i-streams

ZBOST STOP ISTREAM says it stops I-Stream Boost but it just immediately collapses the highest boosted i-stream number and sets the timer for the next to collapse in 1 minute. We need an option that will collapse all boosted i/streams to the CAP va...

Add more information to ZSSLD DIS command for better diagnostics

Please add to the existing display information regarding the allocation of CTXes to each daemon, what daemons are supporting what ports, and a high-water mark for CTXes on each daemon. It also might be useful to display the timestamp of the oldest...

Add option to disable SLOWSTART in HSC config

If HSC is used for sending multiple packet messages, network latency is high, and application timeout is set to a low value, SLOWSTART can cause the timeout value to be reached due to packet transmission halted while awaiting TCP ACK. This became ...
